He said tlmt in early days the word of the Nizam “his law and superseded the dic- tum of any other tribunal. But in these good civilized times, he continued, this idea had been righteously swept away. In the course of India’s progress law courts had been established. These courts were the fount of justice from which the rich and poor, rulers and subject, might alike ex- pect to see just claims affirmed and wrongs punished. It was right and proper for the ruler to appeal to these courts when he had occasion, and to furnish all the light he could that would expedite the course of justice. His people were wrong in believâ€" One curidus feature of the affair is the at- titude ot the Nizam's subjects, When it became known throughout Hyderabad that his Highness intended to give testimony before a. Commission appointed for thntpur- pose the people were highly indignant. They said it would be a. humiliation and a. dis- grace to the country for its ruler to condes- cend to give testimony like an ordinary mortal. Thereupon his Highness felt. it his duty to issuea. proclamation, in which he set forth his ground of action. The telegraphic reports do not, speak de- finitely of the grounds of the acquittal. All thatisyeb known is that. the accused disolaim- ed alldishonest intentions and declared that he had paid to th owner of the stone nearly the whole of the amount. It remains to be seen whether the Nizam has any prospect. of recovering his money by any other proce- dure. The court suggested, in its decision. that a. civil suit might lie against Mr. Jacobs for lhe_recovery ofAthe moneyf Then Mr. Jacob began to talk of compen- sation for the expense he had incurred and the trouble he had taken. He. said he was entitled to at least $10,000. This claim was not disputed, but the Nizam delicately hint- ed that before the claim was paid the twenty- three lakhs of rupees, which had been de- posited in the Calcutta. Bunk, should be re- turned. Mr. Jacob did not: show any ala- crity about complying with this important part. of the operation. In fact, the money was not forthcoming at all, and his Highness brought a criminal suit against. the dealer to recover it. This proceeding was unsuccess- ful, and Mr. Jacob, up to this writing, not only has the Nizam's $50,000, but has also triumphed over him in the _courts. Ins "lghuess Now has Nellher the Dln' mond nor the $500,000 lle Depositedâ€"Ills Subjects Shocked by Ills Avpenrance In a lawsuitâ€"Mr. Jacob‘s Triumph. The million-dollar diamond case of the Nizam of Hyderabad was decided in India about three weeks ago. The case has been the talk of India, and, to a lesser extent, of England. It was decided against the Niz- am. This distinguished potentate was heat- en in the courts by almmble though famous dealer in gems or bric-a-brac named Jacob, who is said to be the very person whom Mr. Marion Crawford immortalized under the name of Mr. Isnacs. The Nizam is one of greatest of all the Indian potentates. His large territory, nearly two-thirds the size of Bengal, lies between the Madras and the Bengal Presidencies. He is noted for his friendliness toward the Empress of India and her Government, for the magnifience of his jewelry, and for the lavish hospitality with which he entertains distinguished ; guests. Mr. Jacob seemed to agree to these terms ; at the same time he said he could not get the stone from England unless half of the specified urchase price Was deposited in a. bank in alcutta. The Nizam thought this stipulation was. reasonable, and upward of $500,000 was accordingly placed in the Calcutta. bank, subject to the order of Mr. Jacob. As soon as the owners or the gem received notice that the money had been deposited in Calcutta they forwarded the gem to India, where it was duly handed over to Mr. Jacob, who set out in great haste for Hyderabad. expecting that he was about to make a sale which would put a. small fortune into his own pocket. In this hope he was disappointed. The Nizam had changed his mind. He had seen a. model of the diamond and it did not come up to his expectations. He had also been informed that the sum asked for it was absurdly in excess of its real value. Anoth- er important personage had, moreover, ap~ peared on the scene. This was Sir Denis Fitzpatrick, the British Resident. He in- formed his Highness very frankly that in view of the fact that as the finances of Hyderabad were not in a flourishing condi- tion, and that there wasa prospect of a fam- ine in the northern part ofthe State, it was a very bad time for the great ruler to put so much money into a. wholly unproductive investment. His Highness said “ No” with much emphasis to Mr. Jacob. The dealer used all his blandishments to induce the Nizam to change his mind, but in vain. The sale was off. The Nizum of Hyderabad Loses his Agamst a Dealer One (13.3}, when the N’izam was in particu- larly good humor, Mr. Jacob happened to remark that he could pi‘oeure for him one of the biggest and finest diamonds in the world for forty-six lakhs of rupees; Perhaps this does not convey to all readers an idea of a. very great, sam of money. The fact is, how- ever, that forty-six lakhs of rupees are somethin over $1,000,000. The gem Mr. Jacob has in view would not bring anything like that. sum m the open market, but great Indian potentates, With millions of tax- payers in their domains, may be expected to indulge some rather extravagant whims, and his Highness told the dealer in gems that if he would bring the expensive bauble to him he would pay forty-six lakhs of rupees for it if it met his approval, but that the gem was to be returned if it did not please him. V Nizam was one of Mr. Jacob’s best cus- tomers. Jacob is welcomed at every Indian court, for he has a. high reputation as a. deal- er in the costliest of jewels, and ass. shrewd and indefatigable bric-a-brac hunter. The rich native princes have been among his best customers. Every year he has visited Hyderabad, where he was lodged and fed in one of the Nizam’s palaces. During the trial J acob‘s counsel undertook to say that the gem merchant was on very friendly terms with the Nizam. His Highness, however, repudiated this assertion, and drew an em- phatic distinction between lodging a. travel~ ler and entertaining a. guest. The Nizam said their relations were purely commercial, and anything like friendship between them was wholly out of the question. Suit How this Battle of Glam Brules Looked to a Man [7]) a Tree. The following story of a. combat between two enormous grizzlies is related by a. hun- ter who witnessed it from the safe retreat of a. tall tree, where he had fled from the ap- proach of one of the brutes. He says that it lasted long enough for him to get over his scare and pay close attention to what was going on. He had been hunting, hav- ing started at daylight, and at 2 o’clock he was surprised by meeting a huge grizzly in the path. He did not have time to do any- thing but climb a tree, and the old brute immediately laid seige and attempted to reach up at; him. While this was going on he heard a. noise up the trail, and there was another bear coming down toward his tree. He thought he was in for a. night. of it as the two would keep him there until he was star- ved or some one came to his assistance. The new Khed'ive of Egypt. was formally welcomed at Alexandria. and Cairo on Satur- day. be said, {1nd We believe that it will not be said, that the development of this rich country has been retarded by the apathy or the penuriousness of the Government. We confidently believe that the Adminis- tration are alive to the importance of aid- ing in every legitimate way, those who are engaged in the development of the resources of the Kootenay country, and that they will be ready and willing to do all that can be reasonably required of them by those who are directly and largely interested in its advancement. Mining In British Columbia. The Kootenay district in British Columbia continues to attract the attention not only of Canadians but also capitalists of both England and the United States. In fact, as Mr. W. L. Lynch pointed out in a recent address betore the Canadian Institute of Toronto, Americans seem more impressed with the great mineral wealth of the dis- trict than we in the Dominion. A Victoria paper recently referred to the fact that ac- counts are continually coming to hand from the Kootenay country which lead to the conclusion that it is one of the richest mining regions, not of this continent only, but of the world. Discovery after discovery has been made, which proves that the ountry abounds in the most valuable metals and minerals, and much of its areais still unexplored. Enough, however, is known of its great resources to attract enterprising investors and hardy and courageous miners. The prospect is that very large additions will he made to the population of the dis trict in the ensuing year. If the country on further examination proves as rich as it promises to be, cities Will soon spring up in it, and it will become in a. very short time the most populous as well as the richest part of the province. The same paper also refers to the fact that as the country is still rough and undeveloped, and that before the miners can avail themselves of the riches that are to be found in almost every part of it, it must be made easier of access. Roads and trails must be opened and improved, and bridges built wherever they are re- quired. This is the legitimate work of the Government. It is not to be expected, that the miners in a new and rough country, like \Vest Kootenay, can, in ai- ditiou to the work of prospecting and mining, make the roads and open the trails that they require. Those roads and trails are for the use of all, and all should bear their share of the expense of supplying the district with sufficient means of intercom- munication. Let the Government convince itself of the richness of the country and of the prospect of its being soon settled, and then begin energetically the Work of open- ing it up. The money invested in aiding in this way the development of the Koote- nay District, will be sure to bring in a large and quick return. The addition of onlv thirty thousand consumers and taxpayers to the population of the province will greatly stimulate its trade, and materially add to its revenue. Men who know the district. and have a. good idea of the nature and the extent of the discoveries that have been recently made in it, believe that before three years have expired. its population will have increased to a. far greater extent than thirty thousand. They have seen how less promising areas in the United States have been settled, and they speak with a. confi- dence that shows that they have perfect faith in the truth of their own predict-ions. It is certain that as soon as the Spring operations commence a. very large accession will be made to the population of Kootcnay. This, they say, will be the first instalment, and, if the new finds turn out anything like according to expectation, they will be fol- lowed_by thousands more. It must not Round and round they went again until a second rush was made, and then came the most fearful death strugole. It was evident that one or the other would be dead before the other would give up the fight: They fought savagely,-biting and gouging, until one of the brutes fell, and the other got a. grip on his throat, which soon ended the fight and the fallen bear’s life. After biting and clzwing the fallen enemy until there was no possibility of there being any life left, the victor set to work to eat his fallen foe. "Then ensued one of the wildest scenes ever witnessed in the mountains, a. battle between the kings of the forest. The ani- mals tought with a. skill that sthed them both to be the victor of many aprevious conflict. They skirmished for position and boxed with the dexterity of trained pugilists. Suddenly one made a. sava e rush at the other and they were locke in an embrace that was terrific. They roared and howled and bit and clawed each other in a most horrible manner. The whole place was torn up, small trees being tip-rooted in the strug- gle of the enraged brutes. By an awful snort one tore away from the other, and then they began their sparring tactics again, but it was evident that the first hear had got much the worst of the tackle. ing tum. it was any derogation of his dig- nity to give testimony in a law case. Although his Highness has been defeated in the court to which he appealed, he still retains his very high opinion of legal tribun- als. He was mistaken, however, for the two bears were evidently not friendly, and one of them undoubtedly thought that the other was pfiaching on his preserves, for the ani- mals no sooner saw each other than they roared and rushed at each other, bent on fight- GRIZZLII-IS FIGHT To A Fl of a. combat between is related by a. hun- am the safe retreat of The Rev. Dr. George F. Pentecost, who has been laboring as a. missionary in India. for a year or more, describes some of the re- sults of missionary effort in that country, which are none the less important because they are indirect. During the last fifty years or more, he says, Christianity has been slowâ€" y but surely disintegrating the religious and social systems of India. Hinduism is no longer solid ; the schools of the Brshniins are no longer crowded, and many of the temples are in a, state of decadence. The burning of widows is becoming less common every year, religious suicide, self-torture and child-murder havealmOSt entirely ceased and the Thug and the thief caste have been forced into hiding. It is tine that most 0! these reforms have been brought about by the British Government; but in this work it has acted in obedience to the Christian conscience of Europe and America. The system of caste is not yet destroyed, but it is seriously weakened Fifty years ago the gates of the cities and towns were closed at 5 in the evening and not opened until 6 in the morning, and all low-caste people were excluded lest the shadow of some of them under the oblique rays of the sun might fall upon a passing Brahmin and defile him. Today the lowest caste boy and theson of the Brahmin sit side by side in the same school- room and engage in the same sports, while the railway trains are crowded with people of every caste. A hundred years ago the Brahmin did no work, and was revered al- most as a. god. Now he has to work for his living like the men of any other caste, and counts himself happy when he secures a Gov- ernment clerkship at a. salary ronging from $6 to $25 a. month. In a. word, the out- works of the caste system have been taken, and Dr. Pentecost believes, with good ap- parent reason, that the whole system will utterly collapse within the next fifty years. All these facts indicate that Christianity, or if the term be liked better, Christian civilization, has had a. profound influence in India. in spite of the fact that its showing in converts has been comparatively small. Much has been said from time to time about the meagre direct results of missions n such countries as India and China, and most candid missionaries will acknowledge that Christianity has not reached the full measure of its dfiy in this matter. But in estimating the real value of missions Wis must take into account the indirect results. such as Dr. Pentecost says are to be found in India. They are not only due in a. large measure to the sell-denying labors of mis- sionaries, many of whom went to their graves with an apparent record of failure. but they puvc the way for that more formal and organic reception of Christianity which the churches are sodesirous ofbringing about. In estimating the value of missions it is unâ€" fair to study the missionary statistics of one year or even ten years. The real work thth is being done cannot be tabulated, for it is the result of silent and unseen influences whose effects are only seen in their true perspective when they have been in opera.- t-ion fifty or a. hundred years.
